The annual university class play was read to the senior class this morning and a committee was appointed to assign the parts. The name of the play is "The Sov ereign and the Copper" and deals entirely with college life. ...''" The specialties and hits are all local i-: , .. j,ut and intended to be of more than ordinary | interest to the students. Sotoe of the members of the class said that in their opinion the play contains too much local color and might not be a drawing card, for the general public. The authors say, however, that the staging and interpretation, will have much to do with its success. The play Was written by E. P. Malloftr, Irene McKeehan and Alice Dwyar.

It Would Mean a^ "Sailing Under ^ Fajse Colors," Says E, H. y Moulton. No banking bill before the present legis ture has attracted more attention than has that introduced by Representative George E. Smith of Minneapolis and passed by the house. It provides for the establishment of savings depart ments by state banks and the adver tising of the same. Against the plan there is a strong sen timent, especially by those interested in the maintenance of a sharp line of distinc tion between savings banks and commer cial banks. The sentiment is by no means .confined to those directly interested in savings banks. E. H. Moulton, treasurer of the Farmers and Mechanics' Savings bank, puts the opposition in a nutshell when he says: "It would permit state banks, those desiring to do so, to sail under false colors.". Further Mr. Moulton says: "Expecting .the protection that is thrown around sav ings bank depositors, depositors in state banks operating savings departments un der the law in question would get no such protection. Their funds would be mingled with the general funds of the bank in the commercial business which the bank would continue to do. Such funds would not be kept separate and would not have to be invested in special classes of securities from which the ele-' rnent of personal credit is eliminated. Examinations by the public examiner would not help the matter, as the public .examiner cannot in the very nature of the ease know the financial responsibility of the signers of the commercial paper in all of the banks or even a small propor tion of the banks of the state. "Furthermore, the depositor in a com mercial bank having a savings depart ment would not have the protection which comes from the law forbidding the loaning of money to those interested directly in the bank. This law is stringent as ap plied to savings banks. "Again, when it came to the matter of a run on a bank, the sayings depositors, especially in largo cities, would be at a great disadvantage. The savings deposit ors would have to line up at the counter, each taking his turn, and the number who could withdraw their money in a -day would bo comparatively limited, whereas the large depositors of the commercial department could draw through the clear ing-house, leaving the small depositors of the savings department to take what was left in case the bank went under. This is not to say that there are not strong, admirable institutions among the commercial banks. But depositors should not be confused as to the nature of the institutions they are dealing with. "Worst of all, however, as stated, is the fact that banks operating under such a law as that proposed would be sailing, un der false colors, invoking a name which, under the admirable law now in force,- a law modeled after the best savings bank laws in the United States, has come to stand for security in the minds of the thrifty who seek not a place where, they may secure commercial conveniences, but safety, with interest additions to their savings." Some are disposed to take ft different view of the law. These hold that state banks now do a saving^ bank business, accepting money on' interest and issuing certificates therefor. To this there is no objection on the part of those hostile to the new law. It is just what it represents itself to be. ttfey say, and there is no use of misleading terms. The difference in the lines of banking, commercial and sav ings, ,4s clearly marked and it is held that those seeking the protection of the best possible savings bank laws should not be subjected to the possibility of being mis led by ambiguous advertising with the sanction of the law.

Detective James Howard has found part of tho diamonds stolen by two colored men from the jewel ry store of S. Jacobs & Co., 520 Nicollet avenue, last week. He found them in St. Paul.

POLICE ISSUE WARNING Pickpockets and Thieves Scent a Harvest in To-day's Crowds. Word was received at police headquar ters this morning that a gang of nearly 100 pickpockets is following the president's special train and is expected to. arrive in the city to-night. They decided to skip St. Paul, as it is difficult for them to .operate in daylight* but the police expect ,to meet them in Minneapolis to-night. While the police are forewarned, and, .s a consequence, will be forearmed, yet. .it will be impossible for them to give the .large crowds, that will be on the streets, absolute protection and some "Work" will undoubtedly be done. Superintendent Conroy said to-day: "We shall do everything in our power to .protect the people, but some of the crooks will be able to do work in spite of* us, I ,want to warn the people against wearing diamonds and jewelry to-night, %nd large .sums of money should not be carried. "Another thing I think that ought to be guarded against, is \he leaving - of residences alone. Sneak thieves and house .breakers will probably be in the city in large numbers and if the people leave their homes unguarded, there is little doubt but that some will be raided. Some one should be left in every house in the city to-night." WELCH CASE DISMISSED Justice Varner Would Not Prose cute and Case Was Dropped.

'* ' % \ l ' i . ,i *n J'i I . i ndlc tnients to ends for the GOODttNAS TRIERSWALKER A l^r$je jWHjfoh May E^edite^the . Gardner's Appearance as a State . Witness Creates a Peculiar --"- Situation,- - Upon the selection of triers for em panelling a jury in the A. A. Ames case depends to a considerable" extent the ce lerity with which this task is accom plished. Often in trials of important cases men are appointed who are willing to prolong the' selection of iurors because as long as it lasts they are paid $10 per day by the state. All questions of actual bias are submitted to the triers and it-is within their power to hasten or retard the selection. The plan has been suggested, and seems to have met with approval, that in the coming trial of the former mayor there be appointed three5 men-- of* unquestioned ability and men to whom $10 per day is small pay. Natural ly the foremost lawyers of the city are not looking for such work and in fact will be disposed to refuse it. The court has power, however, to compel any member of the bar whom it sees fit to serve in this capacity and it is understood that this authority may be used. If it is, the work of getting twelve1 siderably shortened and the guess is com monly, made that ten days or two weeks should be sufficient to accomplish the task. * Judge Elliott to whom the criminal cal endar falls by lot this term, will try the cas^e.' This arrangement comes simply as a matter of routine and there has never been any question as to who the trial judge would be if the case was taken up during the April term of court. The de fendant insists upon as early a trial as possible and although County Attorney F. H. Boardman-is not yet returned from California it is understood in his office that the state will' in all probability be ready to proceed in the Ames case the first week after the convening of court. A peculiar and interesting phase of the Ames trial will be the relation sustained between Erwin & Mead, appearing for the defendant, and their- former client, Irwin A.' Gardner,, who is expected to as sume "the role of star witness against his former chief. Dr Ames' attorneys de fended Gardner h\. his.former trial when he was convicted." Now the client will take the stand and will presumably testi fy, to sOme interesting facts which would have been material evidence in the case against him. ^ You are invited to visit our greenhouses, Thirty-fifth street and Portland uvenue, Sunday, April 6.

Excellent observations of it were secured on Thursday night. Its visual magnitude is about S%, though photographically it is fully a magnitude brighter than this, on account of the rich ness of the star in photographic rays. Its spectrum contains numerous bright bands, the most conspicuous being those due to hydrogen. The history of previous new stars leads us to expect that the na ture of akhis object will change and in the course of a few weeks or months it will become a nebula. In fact, our study of the spectrum ,leads to little, doubt that it If along nearly to the nebular, state. The position of the star is R.

The Vatican thinks that owing to the number of Catholics in the British em pire, especially iri Ireland and Canada, the king will not come to Rome without .trying to see the pope otherwise it would appear to, be an intentional offense. An ticipating the king's visit there is now an element at the Vatican advocating ,a deviation from the ceremonial estab lished at the time of Emperor William's first visit, by.allowing the king to start from the British embassy, where he will be met by Mohsignor Stonor. the canon of St. John"s lateran, the highest Eng lish prelate here, who will accompany him to the Vatican.

DrThere was a warm time at tle armory after the inspec tion by Major Carpenter of Troop C. Aft er most of the men had departed Major Carpenter, General Conklin and several of the other officers h)!ormed the captain of the troop, Harry J.

This the captain refused to do, notwith standing a petition asking for his resig nation, signed by twenty-eight out of thirty men, had been presented to the of ficers. Since he refuses' to resign the members of the*- troop have preferred charges against him, and should the ad jutant general not see fit to. remove him from the office, the troop will disband and reorganize, electing new officers. Captain Mowrey says the charges can not be sustained. He was first lieutenant of Company H, First South Dakota volun teers, the regiment which went through the Philippine campaign, having been ap pointed to the vacancy caused by the death in action of Lieutenant Frank H.

New York Bun Special Service. New York, April 3.J^mes W. S. Lang erman, who has just returned from Mo rocco, tells how he Was captured by Moorish rebels after nearly 500 soldiers composing his bodyguard had been slaughtered. Mr. Langerman went to Morocco as a commisisoner for the St. Louis Exposition and returned on- the. Kaiser WUhelm der Grosse. He escaped" from Fez while that stronghold of the sul tan was besieged by the rebels under Bou Hamara, the pretender. 'Whsn I left Fez," said he, "I had a program mapped out to go to Tanglers, 187 miles away, on business connected with the exposition. I had been warned several days before my departure that I was likely to be molested, by rebels the moment I left the city, but I labghed.at the fears of my adviser?. ' . "The sultan, since I insisted on leaving Fez at that time, ordered the strongest kind of guard to be sent along, and presented me with four coal black horses. My guard consisted of 500 of the finest soldiers obtainable. "We were attacked when not more than twelve miles outside of Fez by an over whelming army of rebels. - My guards were equipped with the latest make of English and German guns and fine swords, but they never had a ghost of a change. Not only did the rebels slaughter the guards but cut off their heads and ex hibited them through the territory under their control. "With those who survived the raassa* ere I fell back in the hope of returning to Fez, but we found our retreat blocked. I was captured, but upon being con vinced that I was an American visitor on business only, they released me, with, .my four men." - '--"--' Langerman does not explain why th four men were not slain with the rest or whatj part he took in the conflict. He continued: "What occurred the day following, the slaughter of the guard I d}d rjot learn until my arrival at Tangier. Then J was told the news of the killing of my guards reached Fez the same night it happened. The sultan, enraged, ordered 1.0QO men away at midnight. The next day ah awful battle was fought, which resulted 10 a victory for the sultan's men. They re turned to Fez with the heads of 300 rebels stuck on their poisoned arrows and lances. These heads, I was informed subsequently, were nailed to the gates of Fez as a warning." Mr. Langerman said that three of the horses the sultan gave him died at .sea between Gibraltar and Liverpool. IP* RADIUM IN A VACUUM What Prof. Crookes Says of Action of the Metal. New York Sun Special Service." London, April 3.Professor Crookes, writing in answer to a question whethef radium would not cease to show its pe culiar properties in a perfect vacuum, says there is little doubt that it would, but an experiment to prove it is at present im possible. What is called a vacuum is only a vacuum by courtesy. Most.of the ex periments In high vacua are perfprmed at the exhaustion of about ohe-roilliohth of an atmosphere. Ijut that means practically nothing, for when the bulb in which the experiments are conducted has been .ex- hausted to a millionth of an atmosphere it still contains a trillion molecules. Pro fessor Crookes uses the English notation figures, a trillion containing eighteen ci phers. . --. were RITTENBURG ELECTED New Officers of the Southern Wis consin Teachers' Association.
